Yesterday I finally got the keys for my new (old) house! it has only taken around 12 weeks ad we are finally in, well almost. I spent the day taking tiles off the bathroom wall only to discover I need the walls re plastered. Found out that the stop-cock needs replacing so when we come to change the bathroom suite we will need to turn off the water supply via the main supply outside (don't tell the water board!). Not only do the bathroom walls need re-plastering but i had the great idea of stripping the paper in the bedroom to find that they are in need of some attention too!
And finally to top it all off, the sofa we liked from Ikea (yeas that great Swedish institute) has been discontinued and is sold out! Boo!

I'm going to try my best to keep the posts flowing at the same rate but if you notice the posts getting a little shorter then I probably have been spending my time sorting the house! Things seem quite daunting and were beginning to spend money which we hadn't anticipated but I'm sure we we'll be able to look back 10 weeks from now and be able to relax!
